My Mother-in-Law Gifted Me a Building

”Alright, that’s fine. You can arrange it yourself.” Chu Feng said before hanging up.

Chu Feng wasn’t one to forget a kindness.

After all, Wang Hong had gone to great lengths to help him and hadn’t mentioned it once.

The Chu Family, Inner Hall.

Chu Tianshan hung up the phone, a smug smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

’I knew it. The boy talks tough, but he’s soft-hearted.’

”Old Ancestor, who were you on the phone with?” one of the Chu Family Elders below asked curiously.

”I declare that from now on, the Chu Family’s agent in Zhongnan City shall be Wang Hong of the Zhongnan Building Materials Group!” Chu Tianshan announced.

The news stunned the many interviewees in the inner hall.

The interviews weren’t even finished.

”But... how can there be a result already?”

”No way. The interviews aren’t over. How can they have a result?”

Many of the applicants looked utterly baffled.

In fact, Wang Hong himself was stunned. He hadn’t expected to be selected just like that.

He had considered calling Chu Feng for help before setting out, but in the end, he hadn’t made the call.

He didn’t know how to bring it up.

”Wang Hong, you have a good eye. Congratulations,” Chu Tianshan said with a smile.

His words were full of hidden meaning, and as a crafty old fox himself, Wang Hong knew it.

’Thinking back on that phone call and the content of Chu Tianshan’s conversation, the person he was talking to must have been Chu Feng.’

”Thank you for this gift, Old Ancestor,” Wang Hong said, hurriedly kneeling in reverence.

Of course, the selection process for the Chu Family’s agents in other regions was still ongoing.

Every clan had more than one agent.

”Miaoke, the reason I didn’t choose your father is that I don’t want my father-in-law to be a subordinate of the Chu Family,” Chu Feng explained to Su Miaoke.

He was worried Su Miaoke might feel resentful, since he had given the opportunity to an outsider.

”Honey, don’t worry. I don’t mind at all. In fact, I was thinking the same thing. You’re the Young Master of the Chu Family, after all. How could our dad’s status be low? Why would he need to be a mere agent?” Su Miaoke said with a smile.

”I’m glad you see it that way. After all, an agent is just a vassal of the Chu Family,” Chu Feng said with a smile.

While a successful agent would hold a certain status within the Chu Family, they could ultimately never compare to a core disciple—let alone Chu Feng, the Young Master.

Many people flocked to these Martial Arts Clans because they had existed for generations, making them deeply rooted and immensely powerful.

Even some government authorities wouldn’t dare to make a move against certain Martial Arts Families.

The main reason was that those who walked the Martial Dao were far stronger than ordinary people.

While modern weaponry could harm these Martial Arts Cultivators, what would happen if the Martial Arts Families got their hands on modern weapons too?

Their combat effectiveness and the threat they posed would be terrifying.

This was why many government authorities dared not provoke these Martial Arts Families.

Of course, these Martial Arts Families wouldn’t go looking for trouble either. Despite their strength, if they caused a big enough scene, they could still be destroyed.

Take the Chu Family’s few Foundation Establishment Realm experts, for example. If they were equipped with modern weapons, their destructive power would be horrifying.

The Chu Family had once been quite powerful, with several members reaching the Peak of Foundation Establishment.

However, many of them died during that great turmoil.

But reaching what was considered humanity’s current Martial Arts Peak was another matter entirely.

In other words, it was exceptionally difficult.

Because not a single person had reached it, not even in the Chu Family at its peak several decades ago.

The same was true for the Qing Gang.

Only a handful of Martial Arts Families or Martial Arts Sects had such experts, and they, of course, almost never involved themselves in worldly affairs.

Chu Feng didn’t dwell on these things.

They were meaningless to him. He was already strong enough.

Practically invincible!

After washing up in the back hills, Chu Feng walked home with Su Miaoke.

However, when they arrived, they found some unfamiliar guests at the house.

Taking a closer look, Chu Feng realized they were from the Chu Family.

Chu Feng vaguely remembered seeing them before.

When the men saw Chu Feng, they quickly cupped their fists and said respectfully, ”Greetings, Young Master.”

”Get lost. I never said I was the Chu Family’s Young Master, so don’t go calling me that,” Chu Feng said impatiently.

’They completely forced this position on me; I never agreed to it.’

”But the Old Ancestor gave the order. We are all to address you this way when we see you, Young Master,” one of them said.

”Alright, enough nonsense. Spit it out if you have something to say. If not, get lost,” Chu Feng said.

”It’s like this: the Old Ancestor sent us to inform you that he needs to select another agent, this time in Beihai City. He said he’s leaving the task entirely in your hands,” the man explained.

The Old Ancestor was extremely fond of Chu Feng. Not only was he powerful enough, but he could also heal things like the Divine Soul.

But most of all, it was Chu Feng’s personality that Chu Tianshan liked best.
